When I can have a color e-ink iPad Mini, I will stop using a dedicated e-reader. But I like the e-ink and I don't see that preference changing. I'd prefer only having one device that could do everything if the perfect device existed, though.

It reminds me of a quote, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Amazon has both e-ink and tablets. lol.

Well, this implies that Amazon is waging war with themselves - that their tablets and eInk readers are at odds. In fact, I think they are serving two different markets of readers. But the readers/tablets aren't what they're really selling; they sell those very close to cost. Their goal is to get you to buy Amazon digital content, like Kindle Books, MP3s, Instant Videos, etc. The Kindle Books must be a lucrative market by itself, because they keep making those eInk readers and trying to make them better.

But not even they see much market for large eInk readers, alas. Kindle DX, we hardly knew ye

E Ink makes a beautiful 2400x1650 9.7" 300(!) DPI Pearl screen but nobody uses it. Probably because nobody (well, except a very few nutters with too much disposable income like me ) would pay what a reader with it would have to cost...
